Codger blends, to me, because I'm high mileage, were the pipe tobaccos that codgers smoked when I was a lad. SWR, Half & Half, Union Leader, Carter Hall, Granger, PA, KC, etc., especially the first two. There were a host of others, usually bought, I think, in one-pound tin cans. OTCs are a different category. Until fairly recently, you could buy Mac Baren blends in any CVS in my area, for example. I can't reconcile Captain Black, because it's too new (!), being called a codger blend. These are OTCs, by my reasoning. Can a blend be both? Well, maybe--but it would require an impartial judge to determine the answer to that weighty question. Good luck finding one, because the mass of rational mankind don't give a Flying Dutchman. An erstwhile OTC, by the way.
